Guide Conversion Kits

The Carter Band Saw Guide is a conversion kit that replaces the lower and upper die cast zinc blade guide assemblies on the band saw with a precision machined assembly. The Carter blade guide is machined from solid high grade aluminum and utilizes high-grade ball bearings. With the Carter design, the blade is held on each side by a ball bearing and the thrust is taken by a third ball bearing. With the stock design, the blade is loosely held by solid blocks and the thrust is taken by the side of a ball bearing. The Carter design means that the blade is held much more precisely, which translates into cleaner cuts and less wasted wood.
